Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:6 mikeperry]:
 > Until SIGNAL NEWNYM is sent, or an hour or so of client inactivity,
 whichever comes first? Doesn't tor already decide to go into some sleep
 mode if it's inactive for a while?

 It does. See rep_hist_circbuilding_dormant() in src/or/rephist.c.

 {{{
 /** For this long after we've seen a request for a given port, assume that
  * we'll want to make connections to the same port in the future.  */
 #define PREDICTED_CIRCS_RELEVANCE_TIME (60*60)
 }}}

 But that only applies to making new circuits (and fetching new
 descriptors). Established circuits will stay open until they have a reason
 to close.
